Player rating for tournaments across all installments of Heroes.

...But Vasya Pupkin doesn't "implode," he just plays poorly. But they can't equalize the ratings. Why doesn't anyone want to stand up for Vasya Pupkin? :)

:D :D :D

Essentially, your position is understandable, and therefore acceptable. I was just responding to your nostalgia for the aging coefficient of 1/3... That's a lot, and I explained why I think so... 1/10 is closer to reality. And your calculation of a gradual (but not rapid) decrease in rating is correct... Yes, an unlucky player will halve their rating in five tournaments, but even that is a catastrophe for a normal player! And you want to lose half your rating in two tournaments?

Five tournaments with a tight schedule is two months of play. How much more could it be? :)

Yes, strong players sometimes fell there, but they would resurface in the next tournament. But again, the strength of the tournaments was taken into account in the calculations. That is, they went where there were strong players and tried to win - if they succeeded, the status quo was restored :) If they didn't succeed, they slowly climbed back up in the following tournaments :)

How many tournaments were there in a year? Roughly?
